Title: Death and the Girl Next Door (Darklight #1)

Author: Darynda Jones

Ten years ago, Lorelei's
parents disappeared without a trace. Raised by her grandparents and
leaning on the support of her best friends, Lorelei is finally beginning
to accept the fact that her parents are never coming home. For
Lorelei, life goes on.

High school is not quite as painful as she
thinks it will be, and things are as normal as they can be. Until the
day the school's designated loner, Cameron Lusk, begins to stalk her,
turning up where she least expects it, standing outside her house in
the dark, night after night. Things get even more complicated when a
new guy—terrifying, tough, sexy Jared Kovach—comes to school. Cameron
and Jared instantly despise each other and Lorelei seems to be the
reason for their animosity. What does Jared know about her parents?
Why does Cameron tell Jared he can't have Lorelei? And what will any of
them do when Death comes knocking for real? Thrilling, sassy, sexy,
and inventive, Darynda Jones's first foray into the world of teens will
leave readers eager for the next installment.

Dorina Basarab is a dhampir—half-human, half-vampire. Subject to
uncontrollable rages, most dhampirs live very short, very violent lives.
But so far, Dory has managed to maintain her sanity by unleashing her
anger on those demons and vampires who deserve killing...

Dory is used to fighting hard and nasty. So when she
wakes up in a strange scientific lab with a strange man standing over
her, her first instinct is to take his head off. Luckily, the man is
actually the master vampire Louis-Cesare, so he’s not an easy kill.

It turns out that Dory had been working with a Vampire Senate task
force on the smuggling of magical items and weaponry out of Faerie when
she was captured and brought to the lab. But when Louis-Cesare rescues
her, she has no memory of what happened to her.

To find out what
was done to her—and who is behind it—Dory will have to face off with
fallen angels, the maddest of mad scientists, and a new breed of
vampires that are far worse than undead…

#1 New York Times bestselling
author Kresley Cole introduces The Arcana Chronicles, post-apocalyptic
tales filled with riveting action, the dark mysticism of Tarot cards,
and breathtaking romance.She could save the world—or destroy it.

Sixteen
year old Evangeline “Evie” Greene leads a charmed life, until she
begins experiencing horrifying hallucinations. When an apocalyptic event
decimates her Louisiana hometown, Evie realizes her hallucinations were
actually visions of the future—and they’re still happening. Fighting
for her life and desperate for answers, she must turn to her
wrong-side-of-the-bayou classmate: Jack Deveaux.

But she can’t do either alone.

With
his mile-long rap sheet, wicked grin, and bad attitude, Jack is like no
boy Evie has ever known. Even though he once scorned her and everything
she represented, he agrees to protect Evie on her quest. She knows she
can’t totally depend on Jack. If he ever cast that wicked grin her way,
could she possibly resist him?

Who can Evie trust?

As
Jack and Evie race to find the source of her visions, they meet others
who have gotten the same call. An ancient prophesy is being played out,
and Evie is not the only one with special powers. A group of twenty-two
teens has been chosen to reenact the ultimate battle between good and
evil. But it’s not always clear who is on which side….

Sixteen-year-old
Evening Spiker lives an affluent life in San Francisco with her mother,
EmmaRose, a successful geneticist and owner of Spiker Biotech. Sure,
Evening misses her father who died mysteriously, but she’s never really
questioned it. Much like how she’s never stopped to think how off it is
that she’s never been sick. That is, until she’s struck by a car and is
exposed to extensive injuries. Injuries that seem to be healing faster
than physically possible.

While recuperating in Spiker Biotech’s
lush facilities, she meets Solo Plissken, a very attractive, if
off-putting boy her age who spent his life at Spiker Biotech. Like
Evening, he’s never questioned anything... until now. Solo drops hints
to Evening that something isn’t right, and Emma-Rose may be behind it.
Evening puts this out of her mind and begins her summer internship
project: To simulate the creation of the perfect boy. With the help of
Solo, Evening uncovers secrets so big they could change the world
completely.

FBI agent Lily Yu is
living at Nokolai Clanhome with her fiancé, lupi Rule Turner, when an
intruder penetrates their territory, stealing the prototpye of a magical
device the clan hopes will be worth a fortune--if a few bugs can be
worked out . . .

But the protoytpe can be dangerously erratic,
discharging a bizarre form of mind magic—and it looks like the thief
wants it for that very side effect. Worse, whoever stole the device
didn’t learn about it by accident. There’s a Nokolai traitor in their
midst. Lily and Rule have to find the traitor, the thief, and the
prototype. One job proves easy when the thief calls them--and his identity rocks Rule’s world.

As
they race to recover their missing property, they find Robert Friar’s
sticky footprints all over the place. Robert Friar--killer, madman, and
acolyte of the Old One the lupi are at war with--an Old One whose power
is almost as vast as her ambition to rock the entire world . . .

It’s
the only way to contain the fey curse that scars her cheek. The Great
War is five years gone, but its scattered victims remain—the ironskin.

When
a carefully worded listing appears for a governess to assist with a
"delicate situation"—a child born during the Great War—Jane is certain
the child is fey-cursed, and that she can help.

Teaching the
unruly Dorie to suppress her curse is hard enough; she certainly didn’t
expect to fall for the girl’s father, the enigmatic artist Edward
Rochart. But her blossoming crush is stifled by her own scars, and by
his parade of women. Ugly women, who enter his closed studio...and come
out as beautiful as the fey.

Jane knows Rochart cannot love her,
just as she knows that she must wear iron for the rest of her life. But
what if neither of these things is true? Step by step Jane unlocks the
secrets of her new life—and discovers just how far she will go to become
whole again.

Perfect for the fans of
Shatter Me who are desperately awaiting the release of Unravel Me, this
novella-length digital original will bridge the gap between these two
novels from the perspective of the villain we all love to hate, Warner,
the ruthless leader of Sector 45.

In Tahereh Mafi’s Shatter Me,
Juliette escaped from The Reestablishment by seducing Warner—and then
putting a bullet in his shoulder. But as she’ll learn in Destroy Me,
Warner is not that easy to get rid of. . .

Back at the base and
recovering from his near-fatal wound, Warner must do everything in his
power to keep his soldiers in check and suppress any mention of a
rebellion in the sector. Still as obsessed with Juliette as ever, his
first priority is to find her, bring her back, and dispose of Adam and
Kenji, the two traitors who helped her escape. But when Warner’s father,
The Supreme Commander of The Reestablishment, arrives to correct his
son’s mistakes, it’s clear that he has much different plans for
Juliette. Plans Warner simply cannot allow.

Set after Shatter Me
and before its forthcoming sequel, Unravel Me, Destroy Me is a novella
told from the perspective of Warner, the ruthless leader of Sector 45.

Even at a camp for
supernatural teens, Kylie Galen has never been normal. Not only can she
see ghosts, but she doesn’t seem to belong to any one species—she
exhibits traits from them all. As Kylie struggles to unlock the secrets
of her identity, she begins to worry that Lucas will never be able to
accept her for what she is, and what she isn’t…a werewolf. With his
pack standing in their way, Kylie finds herself turning more and more to
Derek, the only person in her life who’s willing to accept the
impossible.

As if life isn’t hard enough, she starts
getting visits from the ghost of Holiday, her closest confidante.
Trouble is, Holiday isn’t dead…not yet anyway. Now Kylie must race to
save one of her own from an unseen danger before it’s too late—all while
trying to stop her relationship with Lucas from slipping away
forever. In a world of constant confusion, there’s only one thing
Kylie knows for sure. Change is inevitable and all things must come to
an end…maybe even her time at Shadow Falls.

The breathtaking
fourth installment of the New York Times bestselling Shadow Falls series
from author C. C. Hunter...Whispers at Moonrise.

Inhale. Exhale. Breathe. Breathe. Breathe . . . The world is dead. The survivors live under the protection of Breathe, the corporation that found a way to manufacture oxygen-rich air.

Alina
has been stealing for a long time. She's a little jittery, but not
terrified. All she knows is that she's never been caught before. If
she's careful, it'll be easy. If she's careful.

Quinn should
be worried about Alina and a bit afraid for himself, too, but even
though this is dangerous, it's also the most interesting thing to happen
to him in ages. It isn't every day that the girl of your dreams asks
you to rescue her.

Bea wants to tell him that none of this is
fair; they'd planned a trip together, the two of them, and she'd hoped
he'd discover her out here, not another girl.

And as they walk
into the Outlands with two days' worth of oxygen in their tanks,
everything they believe will be shattered. Will they be able to make it
back? Will they want to?

1 comment:

Okay, I was not a huge fan of Shatter Me (but I blame some of that on the audio book, which was very over the top with the emo-angsty performance) but I LOVED Warner. So while the Unravel Me is not a top priority, I really, really want to read Destroy Me... may have to download that for Readathon next weekend!
